On the morning of February 14, 1931, Albert presented his resignation to Alexandrine and the members of Parliament at an impromptu Imperial Council, and the members of the parliament were shocked by this, but they all knew that it was reasonably to be expected.

What happened yesterday on the 13th was also publicized and published in the newspapers of major newspapers, and the news of "Attack on Sanssouci by Ultraracists" became the headline news in Germany and neighboring countries, and people were shocked to learn that the attacker was the nephew of the prime minister, and this matter will become an after-dinner conversation for some time to come.

The reason for the Prime Minister's resignation was this incident, and he asked Alexandrinne to approve his resignation and allow him to resign from all positions and retire in peace on the grounds that he was "not good at discipline and had no face to serve as Prime Minister".

Alexandrine agreed to this and appointed Franz von Papen to succeed Albert as Chancellor for the rest of his term.

The parliament was quiet, there was no commotion because of this incident, everyone was thinking about what to do next, and the impact of the prime minister's resignation on them was also happy and worried.

This was not a very happy thing for Papen, because being prime minister also meant a lot of trouble, and he knew that Albert was in charge of the latter part of the administration, so he began to have problems with these problems the moment he was appointed interim prime minister.

It was also a mixed blessing for the Centre Party, which was freed from Albert's personal control and also lost a powerful politician.

It's a good thing for the other parties, everyone knows how good Albert is, most people would like to see him step down, and now he does, albeit on his own.

However, there are a small number of people who feel that something is very wrong, Albert's resignation is too sudden, what happened one day and the next day immediately resigned, as if it had been prepared for a long time, but this is very wrong, so they can only bury their thoughts in their hearts.

After the Reich Conference in the morning, the news of the resignation of the chancellor instantly spread throughout Germany, and in the afternoon the news also spread to other countries, and the news of the chancellor's voluntary resignation shocked everyone, and the news became the front-page news in Europe when it was broadcast, along with "The Attack on Sanssouci Palace".

But in the midst of such a big event, there was a small piece of news that went so far as to surprise people in Berlin that the police had closed down a club and arrested all its members yesterday afternoon.

It wasn't until a few days later that the incident was brought up again, and those who knew them at that time realized that they had never seen them again, and the incident did not attract much attention, but the people who followed it were full of interest, some speculated that they were secretly executed, and others speculated that they were imprisoned.

Two days later, on the 16th, the trial of the "murder of the emperor's driver" was held, and Lin Shangzhou attended as the victim, and after a short trial, two of the three main offenders were sentenced to death, and the minor was sentenced to 20 years in prison, with the same treatment as Princip.

In court, Lin thought that the owner of the club would not be sentenced to death, but to Lin's surprise, he was charged with a new crime: instigating Klein to attack the emperor and attempting to assassinate the emperor.

When the charges were read out, the owner of the club was dumbfounded and immediately objected, but no matter how much he protested, it was useless, and he was sentenced to death.

Even Juncker, the assassination of the emperor is an inescapable crime.

Lin Shangzhou left the courthouse after the trial, and he was interviewed outside the courthouse by reporters who asked him what he thought of the convicts' verdicts and whether he was satisfied with them.

Lin Shangzhou was very satisfied with the answer, and he was very grateful to the laws of the German Empire for the fair and just trial of these wicked people, and then he praised Germany and slandered the racists, and the reporters recorded his speech and took pictures of him in front of the courthouse.

This incident was published in the newspaper No. 17, and under the influence of the two reports, the German people were full of favor for this German from the East, who was not a German, and Lin Shangzhou also asked the "Forward" to publish some articles in the newspaper about his experience in Strasbourg while the iron was hot.

Already firmly established in Berlin, he decided to step into the public eye, and three days later, Alexandrine made a decision that he expected made him even more thoroughly known.

On the evening of the 20th, Alexandrine decided to hire Lin Shangzhou as her consultant, and after careful consideration, Lin Shangzhou agreed to Alexandrin.

Then on the 21st, there was a new front-page news in Europe: the German Empress had hired a Chinese immigrant as her advisor.

The media may have different headlines for this news, but the content is the same, and people are also surprised to find that this adviser is the Mr. Hipper, who has a lot to do with His Majesty some time ago, and combined with the deeds of this Mr. Hipper in Strasbourg reported by some media, some speculations about Lin Shangzhou have also emerged.

This matter also quickly spread to the East, and people were very curious about what kind of person could be hired by the Kaiser as an adviser, and some Germans in Qingdao and other places began to consider whether to change their attitude towards the locals, after all, the emperor's advisers generally affect the emperor's opinion, not to mention that the empress is only 16 years old.

However, these things did not have much impact on Lin Shangzhou, his most important thing now was to help Alexandrinne get familiar with handling government affairs, in the past, Albert let his subordinates take care of all the work, and Papen, who replaced him after his resignation, obviously did not plan to do this, some simple documents were sent to Alexandrin's desk, these jobs caused the empress a lot of headaches.

Lin Shangzhou knew why this girl hired herself as a consultant when she invited her to Sanssouci Palace to help her handle her work.

Looking at Alexandrin, who was at a loss for official documents in the office, Lin Shangzhou only had one feeling in his heart: there was a long way to go.
